All i can say is your going to get flamed for this post most likely by others and.... it would be a wiser investment to move to a liter bike and mod it out.

No flaming -- this ain't a wienie roast. But it's true that putting a turbo on a 600 is gonna cost more than it's worth power wise. A nice dry shot of nitrous might be an easier project.

This place wants $2500 and they'll install it. You gotta pay to have it shipped there and back also. boooooost! I'm not recommending these peeps -- never dealt with them. Just giving you an idea of the cost. Oh, they put the turbo all the way in the back under the taillight -- can you say "UGLY" boys and girls?

I am not sure about the math here but the upgrade sounds a little pricey. To me, a used liter bike (or busa, zx-12/14) is really the smart way to go. They are fully engineered solutions all the way through the transmission/clutch/brakes, a turbo, or even nitrous is a set of problems waiting to happen. Whether it is from cooling issues, wastegate failures, low bottle pressure, solenoid failures...These things are fine when new if installed correctly, but over time they are problems.
Keep us posted on your choice.

Liter bikes are not that much more than a 600, price wise...if you can get 8 for your 600, you can get a 1000 for mid 11 grand. I think putting a turbo on a 600 is a ticking timebomb, your just adding another problem that could go wrong. Everyone loves Honda's due to the fact that they are low maintenance and they barely never brake down, adding a turbo lessens that option.

Wow, that is quite possibly the worst turbo installation that i have ever seen. A big turbo sticking out from under the tail just doesn't make much sense to me. I guess maybe a 1krr doesn't have the clearance or room that a busa does in the fairings. At least i hope it's something along those lines. Also seems like a pretty long way for that air to travel. AND it's $2500 for all that, sounds like a bad deal to me. But maybe they will put one on my 600 F4i, oh wait , hell no.

My personal opinion, both is a waste of money and time (nitrous and turbo.) It's a 600cc sportbike. Ride it for what it is, an agile, light, and fast motored vehicle. How much does anyone really need the extra power on a 600? If I wanted to go fast in a straight line I'd ride a busa. If the 1/4 mile is your intention, then sell the bike, and look into a liter bike. Also, what type of mods do you have on the bike now? You can get plenty more power for about a grand.

its a crazy upgrade, but i wouldnt want one, if anything maybe a supercharger but not a turbo. i've never heard of anyone putting a supercharger on one tho, not sure if its even possible.
the thing that would worry me most about that mod is shit breaking. its putting alot of stress on the motor and everything else that puts power to the ground. and if you've ever been in a car with a turbo it doesnt come in nice and smooth, its kind of like BAM! @ full throttle. i'd be scared of the thing coming up too fast or not being ready to it to lift like that. IMO you'd be better off buying a 1000
